lyrics

mama rode the moonshine special
mama drove it right into the wall
mama said no sheriff will arrest me
then mama went up in a fire ball

mama never left without her shotgun
kept that sawed-off little sweetheart 'neath her seat
cigar between her teeth, when she sat behind the wheel
mama always had the feds upon her heels

me and Sue were parked in that dark side road
my fingers almost made it in her pants
when mom came shooting by as fast as lightning
just a little bit too fast for that last bend


mama crashed into the ten mile turnpike
down there on the western county line
when the feds stared at the few remains of ma' they said
she was the best damn whiskey runner that we had

mama rode the moonshine special
mama drove it right into the wall
there was no one who ever did arrest her
yeah mama went up in a fire ball
